Destiny vs idra first round. I kinda feel bad for destiny

Why? He shouldn't really be there in the first place. I mean within MLG, he's had what, one 150th place finish or something ridiculous?
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

Too many Swedes on the EU list to be honest. Looks like they were going for MLG players, but then why is Sase invited (love him but there were enough Swedes already, spread the love around). They should at least have replaced Jinro and Haypro with Mana and Nerchio and Dimaga instead of Sjow or Sase.

NA list is missing select and Huk, a bit sad about seeing Destiny and Tyler in it, neither of them are contenders, kind of boring.

KR is missing DongRaeGu but otherwise as good as they could have got from MLG koreans, they're all great so no big deal.

MLG is seriously wasting invites on Destiny and Incontrol? Surely the NA scene isn't that deprived of talent....?

Don't. He talks about Idra on his stream so much that now he has his chance to put up or shut up.

He also claims that no zergs beat him in late macro games and if he wants a macro game Idra will oblige him.

bit shame alot of ppl are buisy in korea. but pretty good lineups, no complaining.

bit of a side note:
Damn the prize money at MLG is laugheble. I mean every MLG is stacked, they close the doors cause they cant let more people in. And like tens of thousends are watching their streams with commercials and thousands are paying for the HD streams. Still its like five grand for 1st place? I mean come on...
I mean its like the monthly tournament at you're nearest pc cafe... damn shame...

They are obviously aiming for as many viewers as possible since they are trying this new format. There is absolutely no reason for them to invite Destiny over players who have made it way further than him in past MLGs, if that wasn't the case.

Thats fucked up having Boxer go against MMA. They are like father and son.

The Destiny v Idra is going to be fucking epic.

And why is INcontrol there.... should be SeleCT or someone that will actually stand a chance...

I don't believe Destiny deserves to be in these brackets but I guess he's there because he's popular.

MLG makes millions profit every year. They should be thankful for having a game that they can make so much money off of and increase the prize pool substantially imo. Its not like they can't afford it. ;((((


Can you link to the profits MLG are making? Never seen any official numbers.


I don't remember where exactly i read it but it was a credible source. It just saddens me how greedy MLG is being with the amount of prize money they are giving out when the gamers(us) are the reason MLG can make so much money. I'll try and find what i read and post it for you.


You positive it's millions in profit, and not revenue?


I'm pretty positive, i'll continue to search for the article i read and post the link.

Ok heres an article with an idea of what they made starting in 2006 till when this article/interview was published in 2009. So thats 3 years. profit:42.5 million. The scene is definitely much bigger now in general. I'm sure they make alot more than that. This is all profit btw. Even if they only threw an extra 50k for sc2 per mlg they would still be making bank. Plus who knows they might even make more from it since the stakes are so high.

http://techcrunch.com/2009/11/11/interview-with-matt-bromberg-ceo-of-major-league-gaming/


I looked into it. That's how much money they've raised through investment from venture capitalists. Not how much profit they've made.


care to cite your research?

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/21817/Major_League_Gaming_Picks_Up_75M_For_Competitive_Gaming.php

Professional video game league Major League Gaming announced that it secured a $7.5 million investment from Oak Investment Partners.

The same venture capital firm previously invested $25 million into the company in Series B funding in 2006. Prior to that, Major League Gaming gained $10 million in a Series A round from Ritchie Capital.

Total? 42.5 million.


Did you read the article clearly that i posted? Investment and profits are 2 different things right? If i'm wrong please correct me.

For all the people that think Destiny is undeserving.....

Destiny did beat BOMBER in a bo3 in some event at one point not too long ago.
Destiny beat Puzzle on stream several games in a row on multiple servers.

He can definitely compete with the best. However, i do think that he needs to prove himself more at lan events.

On another somewhat related subject, How good will destiny perform post patch once infestors get nerfed?

Out of curiosity who are the best in NA? Sadly even Idra isn't really a global contender any more, and he's probably the best non-Huk player to come from NA.
Can it be I stayed away too long? Did you miss these rhymes while I was gone?

DD: How much money have you taken in to date?

MB: We have raised about $42.5M.

You think it's a coincidence that the numbers are the same? Notice the terminology he used as well, "raised" instead of "earned". Raising money and earning money are two very different things.

Damn, pretty sick

imo it's a tossup between the following:

EU: Thorzain, Ret, SaSe
NA: Idra, Kiwikaki, Sheth
KR: Mvp, Bomber, MMA


I agree with your NA and KR top 3. EU, however... it's really hard for me to tell, as all of them seem like good players, but I don't think Thorzain will make top 3. Ret, Sjow, and Nani all have a good shot I think, and definitely White-ra if he's in good form.
Second favorite strategy game of all time: Starcraft. First: Go (aka Wei Qi, Paduk, or Igo)

Why do tournament organisers insist on inviting some of the best players and then throwing in some mediocre (exaggerated) players - haypro, jinro, last 4 of NA and boxer shouldn't be in this tournament at all.

Not even mentioning the somewhat obvious liquid favouritism - the entire goddamn roster of liquid is invited. I wonder why.

Because tournament organizers are looking for viewers so that their sponsors are happy. The lineup is prett ideal for that. I would question the occlusion of Huk or MC, but that is probably schedule related.
